- Java support — Java is what gambling software is made in and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a phone that doesn’t have built-in support for it.

- Internet Support — Your phone needs the ability to connect to the internet so that it can pass your betting information to the casino’s headquarters. Again, if your phone is less than a few years old it will be internet-ready from the box.

- Airtime credit — In order to use the internet on your phone you’ll need some airtime credit. Thankfully internet data charges have fallen considerably over the last year, so you won’t need much.

Unless you’re one of very few unfortunate ones, you shouldn’t need to change any settings or install any special software to meet these requirements — your phone should be ready for any gambling software.
